# LiDAR Camera vs Thermal Camera

The clearest difference is rating: LiDAR Camera at 4.3 against Thermal Camera's 3.0. LiDAR Camera also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Thermal Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiDAR Camera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Thermal Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LiDAR Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiDAR Camera has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
